Production

Pasupuleti Kannamba, besides producing the film under her production company Sri Rajarajeswari Films, starred as the female lead, while her husband Kadaru Nagabhushanam was the director.[2] The film was shot at Gemini Studios, and many Gemini employees like music director M. D. Parthasarathy, cinematographer P. Ellappa, audiographer P. Ranga Rao, art director M. S. Janakiram, and make-up artist Sahadeva Rao Thapkere (a cousin of Dadasaheb Phalke) worked on it.[2] The final length of the film was 15,196 feet (4,632 m).[1]

Reception

Film historian Randor Guy applauded Kannamba's performance, but noted that the film did not succeed commercially due to the "predictable nature of the story".[2]
